Arrange the following elements in order of increasing (from smallest to largest) atomic size: K, O, Cs, Se. Explain the reasoning behind your chosen order. Do not simply restate the trend, but rather explain why the trend exists.

They’re going to increase in atomic size based on how many electrons they have. You should be able to look at a periodic table or just look up how many electrons each of them has and then you can put it in that order

If a hydrogen atom is neutral, it must also have  one electron. an oxygen atom (o) has an atomic number of eight (8). this means a neutral oxygen atom has eight protons and eight electrons. the element actium (ac) has an atomic number of 89, so it has 89 protons and 89 electrons in a neutral atom
